2022-2023 Program Chair: Brooke Gialopsos — scholarships {at} lwptsa.net
Each year, Lake Washington PTSA Council awards a variety of scholarships to graduating seniors and to LWSD certificated staff. Funding for these scholarships is provided by the generosity of all PTSAs in the district, the continued support and success of Council’s Annual Scholarship Auction, and donations from the greater community. Student scholarships—recognizing achievement and community service—assist recipients in their post-secondary education. Scholarships for certificated LWSD staff provide assistance with continuing education at an institute of higher learning or through LWSD Professional Development.
For 2023, Council is offering 15 student scholarships for $1,250 each, in the following categories:
- 8 Merit scholarships
- 1 LWEA/Teeley scholarship (funded by the LWEA)
- 2 Perseverance scholarships
- 1 Turnaround scholarship
- 1 Two-year, technical or vocational scholarship
- 2 At-large scholarships
Descriptions of all scholarship categories can be found in the application forms (see below). Also available for 2023 are two staff scholarships for $500 each.
